Custom Wheel Building and Wheel Parts

We build all sorts of wheels for all sorts of bikes

Between our 2 mechanics we have over 40 years of wheel building experience

First we start with a chat to establish what you are wanting from your new wheels.

We match various rims and hubs from a range of manafacturers, usually laced together with Sapim spokes.


Rims from Mavic, H+Son, Velocity, Surly, DT Swiss and more.


Hubs from Hope, DT Swiss, Chris King, Bitex, Shimano, Rohloff, Son and many more.


We offer a hand built wheel building service catering for most purposes and requirements. Our wheels have been proved around the globe on intercontinental tours and racing events.


There is more to a wheel than how light it is. When we are wheel building weight is not our first consideration, what does matter is the individuals weight, riding style and riding discipline.


Whether you are cycle touring, mountain biking, road racing or a tandem rider we can build or repair a wheel for you.


Spokes Cut to order

We use a Phil Woods spoke machine which cuts and threads at the same time, for a high quality factory finish
